Mike, I am going through past e-mails and trying to delete. When I came to yours, I wanted to contact you. I was born in Monroe. My grandmother was a Simonton. I am also related to the Malones who were at Friendship, Bienville Parish. My gr gr grandmother is buried at Choudrant in the Sibley Cy, she was a Calhoun. Several generations of mine are buried in the cemetery at Vienna. Glad to make contact with you.
